Motley Crue Tickets

Starting on February 2, Motley Crue will be travelling throughout the country for their 2009 "Saints of Los Angeles" tour. Supporting bands will be Hinder, Theory of a Deadman and The Last Vegas.

Their tour is in support of the 2008 album, "Saints of Los Angeles," which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard album charts.

Motley Crue is an American Hair Metal band whose members include Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, and Vince Neil.

The band was formed in January, 1981 in Los Angeles. Tommy Lee and Vince Neil originally knew each other through highschool. They had performed in different bands in the garage-band circuit. Before hiring Neil, the band had a singer by the name of O'Dean, who did not stay long in the band. After complaining how O'Dean was not right for the band, Mars suggested that they hire Vince Neil; he had previously seen Neil perform in the band Rock Candi. Neil at first declined when they asked him to audition. Then, as fate would have it, Rock Candi dissolved; Neil broke down and agreed to audition for Motley Crue after Tommy called him once more.

The band members have all suffered their share of substance abuse and rehabilitation. After finding sobriety, Mötley Crüe in 1989 reached its peak popularity, with the release of their fifth album, Dr. Feelgood, on September 23, 1989. On October 14 of that year, it became their only no. 1 album and stayed on the charts for 109 weeks after its release.

The band's latest album, Red, White & Crüe, was released in February 2005. It features the band members' favorite original songs plus three new tracks, "If I Die Tomorrow," "Sick Love Song," and a cover of The Rolling Stones' classic "Street Fighting Man." Red, White & Crüe charted at #6, and has since gone platinum. They will be touring in 2005, starting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
